The Administration of T Lymphocytes Expressing the CD30 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) and CCR4 for Relapsed/Refractory CD30+ Hodgkin s Lymphoma
UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
Despite the progress in the therapy, Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) remains fatal for more than 15% of patients. Even in patients who are cured, the morbidity of therapy is substantial and long-lasting. New therapeutic agents are required therefore not only to further reduce mortality but also to alleviate morbidity. The majority of HL express the CD30 antigens. CD30 expression is routinely used for the diagnosis of HL. Preclinical observations support CD30 as a viable target of CAR-T therapy. This phase Ib/II study was conducted based on these observations. The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells in subjects with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and identify a recommended dose for further. This is a single-center, open-label phase Ib/II trial that uses a 3+3 design to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells in Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The phase II portion is designed to determine the PFS of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 in Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Subjects will be enrolled on 1 of 3 dose levels as determined by a 3+3 design. Up to 25 evaluable subjects may then be enrolled in the phase II portion of the study. Subjects may have cells procured to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells if they meet eligibility for procurement. During the time period necessary to manufacture the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells, Subjects will be allowed to receive standard-of-care bridging therapy at the discretion of their local oncologist. Prior to cell infusion, subjects will undergo additional eligibility evaluations, and then if eligible, will undergo lymphodepletion followed by cell infusion 2-14 days later. Subjects will then be followed for 15 years as is required for studies involving gene transfer experiments.
Eligibility
- Age range
- 18+ years
- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- No
During the period of cell procurement and lymphodepletion, subjects will be eligible to receive standard-of-care therapy e.g., chemotherapy or radiation therapy to stabilize their disease if the treating physician feels it is in the subject's best interests. Eligibility must be maintained up until the subject is procured, receives lymphodepletion, or receives treatment for the subject to be considered eligible to proceed with the specific phase of the study. Inclusion Criteria: Unless otherwise noted, subjects must meet all of the following criteria to participate in all phases of the study.…
Interventions
- DrugChemotherapy
Subjects will receive a lymphodepletion regimen of bendamustine 70 mg/m2 IV and fludarabine 30 mg/m2 each as a daily infusion for 3 consecutive days prior to the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cell infusion.
- BiologicalCell infusion
ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells infusion for the eligible subjects after depletion chemotherapy.
